At my house, we LOVE pizza! In fact, Friday Nights are pizza nights are our house. We regularly order from Papa John’s Pizza. Ordering from a pizza place can cost more money than making pizza at home, but sometimes it’s about convenience. The convenience of ordering pizza and having my husband pick it up on his way home from work quickly had me figuring out how to save money at Papa John’s. I’m a quick learner and before long I not only learned how to save money at Papa John’s, but how to score FREE pizza as well! I’m sharing my tips with you, because who doesn’t like free pizza? 😉

15 Ways to Save Money at Papa John’s:

1. Order Online.

I know most people order pizza by calling, but with Papa John’s, you can save A LOT more money by ordering online! The reason? You can use coupon codes, earn reward points, and you can even split the bill with someone (if you’re splitting the bill with someone).

3. Always Sign into Your Account Before Ordering.

Not only do you need to order online and be signed up for the Papa Rewards Program, you will need to be sure you are signed into your account before you place an order. Doing this ensures you earn your Papa Rewards Points.

4. Fill in your Birthday.

I know most people don’t like giving their birthday, much less what year they were actually born in, but Papa John’s rewards you for it! When you’re signing up for the Papa Rewards Program, be sure to put in your birthday. The reason? You will earn 10 points on your birthday! This can be redeemed for a FREE bread side or dessert!

6. Always Check the “Specials” Section.

When ordering online, always check the “specials” section before placing an order. You may want to order 3 large pizzas, but it may be cheaper to order four medium pizzas instead. You can check the specials section here.

7. Check Rewards Points Balance.

Before placing an order, check your reward points balance. You may have enough rewards points to redeem for a free side, or even pizza!

8. Skip the Soft Drinks.

I know it’s easy to want to order soft drinks when ordering pizza, but ordering a 2 liter from Papa John’s is more than it cost in the grocery store. If you’re really wanting a soft drink to go with pizza, stop by the grocery store to save some money, or check your stock pile (if you’re a couponer).

10. Check for Coupons.

Once a month or so, we get a few flyers in the mail with coupons to local restaurants and stores. We almost always receive Papa John’s coupons! Those coupons can be used in store or when ordering online. If you don’t receive a text code, or don’t see a special you like, try using one from the coupon flyer.

11. Use Rebate Apps.

Rebate apps like Ibotta will have a $5.00 rebate when you spend $10.00 at Papa John’s from time to time. These rebates are few and far between, but when you have them, be sure to take advantage of them because it’s an easy way to save money at Papa John’s.

12. Check Frugal Finds During Naptime.

13. Choose to Pick Up Pizza.

Sometimes there is a minimum purchase required to get free pizza delivery. Other times, pizza delivery may cost a little extra. Plus, you need to make sure you have enough money to tip the driver. If it’s possible, choose to pick up your pizza. It will save you the cost of tip and delivery fees (if any apply to your order).

Before you hit “order” on your next online pizza order, be sure to use these tips to save money at Papa John’s. If all of these tips overwhelm you, try just signing up for the rewards program and signing in every time you place an order. Before you know it, you will have enough points for a FREE pizza!
